So I was talking to Yamaha about how skins were chosen in the CS1 and how the CS2 skins were going to be chosen with stats having more importance than before (Hence giving the community what they actually want) and one of the ideas was to, after the safe came out, gather some info related to the stats.

There are a few reasons why I would like to have some access to this (And probably the same reasons a lot of us want to check this data, even the people who didn't get a spot):

* See the overall positive reception percentage to know how much of an impact it makes. People with skins with lots of views but 50/50 ratio in likes and dislikes may feel like they stand no chance but some of the winners might actually have a similar stat distribution.

* Number of total views so we know the kind of threshold to reach for a weapon to be considered "popular".

* Date of release to see how varied the pool is in terms of that. Newer guns usually take the spotlight more easily but in return have less views unless they somehow explode in popularity.

* Any info related to presentation, although linking to your submission is more than enough really.


I'll start with my own submission, the Combat Medic:

At the time of this post I have the next stats:

Date of release: 15 Sep @ 6:43pm
Total Unique Views: 1,795
Current Favorites: 54
Total Unique Favorites: 55
Total ratings: 4,068
Positive ratings: 2,885 (71% of total)
Negative ratings: 1,182 (29% of total)
Rarity: Uncommon (Tier 2 out of 5)

So what I got from this is that reaching 5 stars (Past 80% positive) is not required so no one should feel bad about that. The unique view to rating ratio is weird, I don't really understand how that works like (4000 ratings but less than 2000 visitors? What).

With that said the skin doesn't have a really huge amount of positive votes. It's not even past 3000 votes but it does have over 70% of positive votes which is not bad really but it's pretty close to what I would consider an unpopular skin (Anything lower than 70% really).

Of course, stats should NEVER be the main thing to decide whether a skin makes it in or not, it's simply a guideline to filter the good skins in general. Many good skins also don't make it because they use content created by someone else or are incompatible with the game for X or Y.

So what's your current stats for your CS2 skin?
